Paranoia when shooting with civilians?

I'm that way with everyone I shoot with, both civilians and veterans. Everyone, including me, is subject to a brain fart now & then. Stay paranoid, but not so paranoid it takes the fun out of it.

Civilians? How about anyone paranoid when shooting? I have seen just as much dangerous craziness within the ranks as I have outside. A CSM trying to see if he can take off his own thumb by improperly holding a pistol...because he was really old school and had learned to fire handguns with revolvers...I am assuming? A Wisconsin National Guards man doing live fire lanes training and drifting out of his lane into another person...mine...not cool. A tired soldier resting his head on the barrel of his M-60 while riding in the back of deuce and a half and for getting to clear the weapon...that one was lucky because it was blanks and his eye were closed.

Just like the most deadly tool in our Nation, the automobile, you don't only need to be concerned with what you are doing, but you need to be watching out for every other idiot out there.

It depends on the civilians question. I feel a bit paranoid in the first place at ranges where there is not a safety officer present on the range when it's hot. How the civilians in question handle themselves usually will determine my level of comfort. If it's obvious that they are former military, law enforcement or otherwise act like they know how to handle a firearm safely and know range safety rules, I'm not as disturbed. But I've also been out on the range when it's obvious that the folks next to me have no prior training or experience. that's when I really start to worry.
